Thank you Mats and Donald...a difficult but good thing to make this memorandum. I'll present this for Les Hauts Parleurs in Lyon. Two new memebers will be there for FEST in Lausanne ...I think it's important to engage new partners in this project so…
Dear Clare! Really interesting to read about this experience! How did you get around the language probleme with the refugies? i suppose they do not all speak well english /irish?

Margrethe,
J'ai fait ouf quand j'ai vu quelqu'un qui vit en France. "Enfin quelqu'un avec qui je pourrai parler", je me suis dit. Tout le monde parle anglais et je n'y connais pas grand chose.
Je suis Dieynaba GUEYE, Conteuse au Sénégal. J'ai énormément de conte presque tous accompagnés de chansons. J'ai commencé à les faire éditer mais surtout, je les dis dans les quartiers populaires et aux différents endroits où l'on m'invite.
Le seul festival de contes que nous avons au Sénégal est celui de Gorée qui va avoir lieu le mois prochain.
J'aimerais discuter avec toi de ce qui se passe sur ce site et de biens d'autres choses car le conte est une partie de moi.
En espérant une suite, je te dis courage dans toutes tes activités tout en te souhaitant beaucoup de réussite.
Dieynaba
Hej Margrethe
Hilsener fra Danmark. Fortæller stadigvæk mere og mere. Er lige vendt hjem fra Stockholms Fabula Festival. Det var skønt.
Håber at alt er vel med dig
Hilsen fra Laura

I am excited to see you here at PS. This is a great site, with really useful Groups. Check them out for yourself. Fun videos and lots of people are uploading pictures and audio files as well to their pages so we can see them in action. I hope you will too.
I'm danish, live in France near Lyon since 1985 with americain storyteller Sam Cannarozzi, and have in particuler developed a repertory of inuit an scandinavien tales that I perform all over France and which is closely related to my personal relationship with as well Greenland as the nordic countries. I also tour and teach storytelling in a more general way in France Denmark and Sweden
( participated 3 times in the Ljungby Berättarfestival, Sweden). The musical dimension in storytelling is an important aspect of my fascination for the spoken word. I often work with musiciens here i France.Through telling and singing I build bridges between all these cultures and physical worlds that are part of my own story. I tell in order to travel where my feet can't always take me, and share these trips with others.
Should also say that painting recently try to find its way into my artistic vocabulary...I'm looking forward to discover why!
(My webside will be ready as of beginning July).
